ULLA Collaboration

ULLA is a European university consortium for pharmaceutical sciences, an international network with the aim to enhance collaboration within education and research in pharmaceutical sciences between ten European universities. The graduate programme in pharmaceutical sciences, Drug Research Academy, is member of the ULLA consortium.

ULLA summer school Leiden 2024

ULLA activities
One of the cornerstones of ULLA is the biennial summer schools. In addition, ULLA workshops and lectures, coordinating joint EU applications, support to exchange staff and students help to stimulate interaction.

 

In even years, one of the ULLA member institutions organises an ULLA summer school for PhD students from the ten ULLA institutions. Each ULLA institution has 18-20 seats to PhD students participating in the summer school. The teaching staff of the summer school is in majority from the host institution, however, many courses are also (co-)organised by teaching staff from the other ULLA institutions.

DRA PhD students are encouraged to participate in the ULLA summer school. ULLA and DRA cover some of the travelling and accommodation expenses for teaching staff and PhD students at summer schools.

Selection of participants in ULLA summer schools: In case more than 18-20 DRA PhD students are interested in participating in the ULLA summer school, these criteria will be followed:

  1. No previous participation in the ULLA summer school or ULLA workshop (and vice versa)
  2. In case of still more than 18-20, a draw will be made and each PhD student will get a number, the first 18-20 with a guaranteed seat at the ULLA summer school.

 

 

In odd years, an ULLA workshop is organised for PhD students from the member institutions, the topic of the workshop being selected by PhD students and the host institution. Each ULLA institution has 4 seats to PhD students participating in the workshop.

DRA PhD students are encouraged to participate in the ULLA workshop. ULLA and DRA cover some of the travelling and accommodation expenses for PhD students at workshops.

Selection of participants in ULLA workshops: In case more than 4 DRA PhD students are interested in participating in the ULLA workshop, these criteria will be followed :

  1. No previous participation in the ULLA summer school or ULLA workshop (and vice versa)
  2. Equal spread between DRA PhD students at departments
  3. Distribution of research areas
  4. In case of still more than 4, a draw will be made with respect to the above criteria.
